TIE NEW RATES.

The 0. r. & N. Co., since the 9th Of
April, have made new rates of trans.
portation; and bills, under the new rates,
have been rendered to parties in this city.
One bill rendered to M. NJ. Williams,
Of furniture, 800 pounds, was rendered
at s56:95, as freight from Portland to
this place; shipped from Portland on the
Sth Of April. Another bill rendered
to Jno. p. Vollmer was rendered for
freight on ID tons of coal, amounting to
$500; shipped on same date. In a
conversation with Mr.. Vollmer he tells
us that he shipped car load, which, of
course, was at far less rate than for q
smaller quantity. Furniture belongs to a
higher class, and coal of a lower class,
He says that Mr.. Williams can get coal
shipped as cheap as he did, or any other
man, and that he would have to pay as
high freight on furniture as Mr.. Viii.
liams did; that there is no discrimina
ton made between shippers on the same
class and quantity of freight. Beyond
this we know nothing. If the shippers
have reason to find fault they must make
it known to the company to have their
respective rates modified, and if they are
not successful there, they can make their
complaints known to the commissioners,
appointed by the President, to adjust the
disputes in such cases

The Crops In the State.

The State department of agriculture
has received 239 reports from special
county and township correspondents
regarding the area and condition of the
crops The spring seasons have been
unusually favorable for preparation OF
land and planting. 1t is estimated that
In average years 7S per cent. of spring
planting is finished by May l, but for the
present year IS per cent. has been com
pleted, owing 10 the usually favorable
seasons. Vegetables have been some.
what retarded by cool, dry weather, and
such crops as are up have been injured
by high winds. Rain was very general
throughout the State the last week in
April, causing decided improvement in
the condition of all the crops.
The reports indicate that the area in
cotton will be decreased three per cent.
This estimate, however, is subject to
future revision, as the entire crop had
not been planted on the frat of May.
Early termination of seed has been pre-.
vented by cold weather following plant
ing, but more favorable seasons later
have partly overcome any injury that
may have resulted to the crop from the
cause mentioned.
The correspondents report that 81 per
cent of the crop has been planted, and
estimate that 81 per cent. of this is "up,"
against 81 per cent. last year, and "a per
cent. in 1885. The general cundition is
reported as good as last year. The
reports show that there has been 9
decrease of Is per cent. in the amount OF
commercial fertilizers used on cotton as
compared with last year, while 81 per
cent. of the crop has been fertilized With

Killed By His Brother.

ABBEv1LLE, May Yesterday after.
noon George Woodhurst was accidentally
killed by his brother Andrew. This sad
accident occurred about seven miles from
this place. The facts are that the two
brothers we're at work in the field replant-
ing corn, when they saw some psrtridges.
Their sister being quite sick they con-
cluded to kill some Of the birds for her.
George went to the house for the gun and,
returning, gave it TO Andrew, bis older
brother, who is about grown. In hand.
ing the gun to Andrew, he gave him the
butt end, and as Andrew took hold Of the
gun his finger must have touched the
trigger, for It went of, and the load Of
shot entered Georges head just behind
the ear, killing him Instantly. Itis sup
posed that George must have cooked the
gun as he returned with it from the
house. George was about fifteen years
old.-Special Dispasch to The Sunday

been done the crop by cut worms, but
the injury is serious only in few locali'
ties.
For several years past the farmers
have given more attention to the prepa.
ration and fertilization of corn lands, and
the reports show that this plan has been
pursued the present season more closely
than in any previous years. Last year
the corn crop was destroyed on bottom
lands by spring freshets, and to avoid
such disasters the present year planting
on such lands has been delayed until the
danger has been, in q measure, passed.
Anticipating partial loss of the crop on
bottom lands and short crop Of oats,
the farmers have increased the area in
upland corn. The reports show
that the area has been increased per
cent. over last years crop; the condition
is reported at IS. the stands at So. 55
per cent. of the entire crop has been fer.
tilized, and 81 per cent. of this with

The reports show that wheat was not
